Gene Autry Likes to Wear Cowboy * “Boots So Well That He Doesn't Own 2 ry Single Pair of Regular Shoes.

FRY FerLywoon, March 9.—Gene "Autry, the No. 1 star of Western films, wears a sort of Tlollywood version.of a cowboy outfit ‘all the time, at work and off. ‘If startled me when I saw him, in his downtown office. Tight-legged brown pants,

with some friends, he had to borrow a pair of shoes. . He has just one little mania that he indulges. He ‘can’t resist buying cowboy boots. He has a new pair made every time he sees some he likes.

. My Diary

By Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt

First Lady, Driving Through Texas,

Finds Many Flowers Are in Bloom.

UBBOCK, Tex., Tuesday.—The drive from * Ft. Worth to Wichita Falls, Tex., was taken at slow speed, for Elliott and Ruth are ‘breaking in a new car. 'I never realized before how slow it seems when you drive at 40 miles an hour and every car goes past you. However, it gave us an opportunity to see the countryside very thoroughly. We passed two lovely lakes with little camps dofted all along their shores, and a very elaborate amusement park where swimming was allowed at one end of the lake. The lakes form ‘part pf the water supply for nearby towns, so swimming is restricted to one end. The counfry is rolling even though there are few hills and, while there are not many big trees, you nearly always find wooded sections along the streams. THe red bud and peach trees are in full bloom. “The wild plum blossoms are ‘ nearly gone, but the other blossoms give color to an otherwise wintry landscape. In Ruth’s garden, the daffodils and hyacinths were in bloom and, when we drove over the pastures, I saw many little wild flowers just coming up. They tell me it will be another month before the real wild flowers bloom, but to a person who only discovered crocuses the other day, Texas seems to be well along toward summer. > Photographer Kept Busy After my lecture last night, we left Wichita Falls, changed trains at Amarillo at 8:30 and arrived at Lubboek at 11:20 a. m. We are settling down to our ‘usual traveling routine. The press, consisting of six giris and one man, ¢ame up'as soon as we were set-tled-in our rooms and with them came a very attractive young photographer who was sent by a magazine to cover our day in Amarillo and, on the side, to get anything else of interest which he can find. As a re1%, he has been doing whatever I have done, not always under such comfortable circumstances, but he seems to be bearing up well under the ordeal. On the train this morning, we met a representative of the Young People’s Christian Endeavor Society. I was amazed to hear him say that frequently young people, who heard him speak in one .place, drove: to the next place and reappeared in his audience, to his great embarrassment because he so.frequengly had to talk on the same Subject.

Policy Believed Unlikely

(From Foreign’ Policy ‘Association Bulletin, by Raymond Leslie Buell)

ESPITE . the: dismay caused by the Berchtesgaden visit, “Hitler’s Reichgtag, speech ahd Mr. Eden’s resignation, sober second thought indicates: that the situation arising ‘out of these ‘developments may not: be as desperate as it seemed at first. vise Recent developments in Europe are not likely to ‘change the pattern of American foreign policy. We may expect something like the following during 1338: 1. The: passage of the naval bill. The construction. of .a ,new American Navy, made more certain than ever by Hitler’ ch and the British shift, will “serve: to. strengthen the balance of power. against both Germany :and ‘Japan, even though the United States remains aloof from all commitments. '2. The. conclusion of the British trade agreement. Hearings on this agreement are to begin on March 14. Although vehement protests against any reduction in industrial duties are being made by. American manufacturers, :it- is probable that this agreement : will. be concluded by early summer. If the ragreement provides for real reductions on the part. of both Governments, world economic recovery should be given a new impetus; ‘and it might subsequently . be: possible to carry out more far-reaching J measures of world economic Feconsiiictjon,

3. The reconvening of the Brussels Conference. The international position: .of . Japan - is steadily weakening.

Our Town

By Anton’ Scherrer hi Your Columnist Steps In for the City Clerk and: Informs a Resident Of Seuth Africa on Tomlinson Hall,

: SOMEBODY put me next to a letter ree

ceived by the City Clerk the other day. If was from S. M. Tomlinson, 26 Aberfeldy Road, ' Kensington, Johannesburg, South Africa, and read in part as follows: =~ “In the Encyclopedia under ‘Indianapolis’. I find the following: Tomlinson Hall, capable of seate ing 3000 persons, was given to the city by Daniel ° Tomlinson. My grandfather, also ‘Daniel Tomliusink came to South Africa from Kendal, 2 Westmoreland, England, in 1853. Now, the name Daniel is strange to. my branch of the family, as the usual names are James, John and Thomas. I have for some years been busy tracing the. family bistory and also trying to discover how my grandfather came by the name of Daniel. “will you kindly 80 me the favor : oul to send me any information your. Scherrer City: may possess concerning the his- m . tory -of Daniel Tomlinson?” Goodness knows I have enough to do without doing the City Clerk’s work, too, but in this case I'm more than glad to waive .a point, if for no other than patriotic reasons. In the first place, the Encyclopedia Britannica is wrong (whoopee!). Daniel Tomlinson did not give us Tomlinson Hall. It. was Stephen D. Of course, it's possible that the “D” in his name stood for Daniel; but if it did he kept it a secret all the time he was here. Be that as it: may, our Mr. Tomlinson was’ born in Cincinnati in 1815. His parents, John and Florinda Tomlinson, were natives of Pennsylvania and moved to Cincinnati in 1812. Stephen came to Indianapolis in 1834 when he was 19 years old. He had learned the trade of typesetter but went into the drug business a year after coming here. 'He remained a druggist until 1854 when he retired on. aceount : of : falling health. He died Nov. 14, 1870.

Architects Competed

Indianapolis gasped when his will was read. He left an estate valued then at $100,000, and bequeathed it all to his wife (Mary Todd Brown Tomlinson) to be used according to her desires. With a proviso, hows ever, that any residue remaining at her death, ine cluding all that she might. acquire by exchange or purchase should go to the city.of Indianapolis “to be used in the erection of a building for the use of citizens and city authorities on the west. end of East Market Square fronting on: Delaware St. and nex north of Market.” Well, that was the sidat of Tomlinson Hall. There was a lot of litigation after Mrs. Tomlinson'’s death, of course, but finally everything got straightened out. Enough, anyway, to have an architectural competition for a :building. Dietrich Bohlen (August’s grandfather) won it. The cubs in Architect Bohlen’s office at the time were Qscar Bohlen (his son), Arthur Bohn and Bernhard Vonnegut (Kurt's father). Together they whipped the thing into shape, and ‘in its day it was as nice a looking building as we had around here. . But to get back to Mr. Tomlinson of South Africa. Come to think of it, there was another Tomlinson
